Having kids is supposed to change your life.

And they did it without government.

1 An absolutely totally awe inspiring man, Rick Hoyt is. People who hold themselves back should look to him as a role model. Really. Goes to show when you put your mind and heart into anything, anything is possible.

3 It's absolutely amazing. Before his son was born, he couldn't even swim. He learned to swim for his son. And the story about his son and how much he actually could see and comprehend while no one thought he could is just amazing. VERY inspirational. Man truly is capable of amazing feats.

5 Isn't that just awesome. I LOVE it. And the story behind it is even MORE powerful -- the parents were told the child would never be responsive and could never react or respond to them. He was raised normally and when he got a computer to communicate, the first words he typed were "GO BRUINS!" He had been watching the hockey playoffs and paying attention when the doctors all told them it was impossible. Unbelievable.

He degree is from Boston University, where he graduated in 1993 with a degree in special education.
